New Zealand, here I come ✈️

*plays Jurassic Park music VERY loudly* 🦕

Are you a sci-fi reader? 🪐 I love me some sci-fi, from dystopian dinosaurs to space odysseys, I am so there. And I SQUEALED with excitement over the December @illumicrate box. I *loved* Aliette de Bodard short novella, Fireheart Tiger, which was just so good.

Speaking of 2023 challenges – I'm one book away from finishing the 11-book Ranger's Apprentice series!!! !!! !

I got a LOT of books for Christmas, literally too many to photograph in one photo. So I'll introduce you to them slowly.

Review time! A hearty 4 and 5⭐️ rating for How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse and How to Twist and Dragon's Tale, respectively. These are books 4 and 5 in the HTTYD series and oh my god they're just hilarious.

Stop, look and listen: it's a signed edition of Just Sayin' 😍

I've been talking about reading challenges for 2023, and finishing series is my main one.

Review time! 5⭐️ to this feminist retelling of my favourite Greek myth.

Isn't this cover just so cool? I have been eyeing this book off since it came out because as soon as there is pretty masonry on a cover, I'm hooked. Apparently I've got a thing for that.

Q. Do you run away from long books or do you relish them? This innocent looking historical fiction is HUGE it's nearly 600 pages and thick 👁️👄👁️ but I'm so excited to read it.

Dad sure ain't pulling his punches when it comes to picking a challenge book for me. I present to you, The Way of Kings (part one), which is Dad's pick for my Friend Recommendations challenge for 2023.

Q. Are you Disney obsessed? When I was 21 I had the wonderful (but also tiring) experience of working at Disney World. So yep, I love Disney.

Q. Have you made any progress on your 2023 reading goals already?! I haven't, but we've got the whole year ahead 😎 I started introducing my Friend Recommendations challenge yesterday with my brother's pic, and today I'm introducing my mum's: The Little French Bookshop.

Q. What reading challenges are you attempting to SLAY this year? I've told you I'm aiming to finish series, but this week I'll be introducing the books picked by friends and family members as part of my friend recommendations challenge!

Hello all! I'm back 🦸🏻‍♀️ And I'm here with my top 5 of 2022 🥳 how was your holiday break? Did you read anything good? Tell me about it!

It's Christmas Eve! This is my last post for the year before I enjoy the holidays and some time off 🎄 I imagine I'll still see you in stories, but no new photos for a while! So here's my last review on booksta for the year ➡️

Q. Have you read A River Enchanted? I loveeed it - such a whimsical story and I'm so keen to see what happens next 🤩 how lovely is this matching set from @illumicrate?? I'm obsessed 😍

Q. Is this on your TBR? This beautiful edition came in @illumicrate's November box and I'm so excited to have a new Susan Dennard on my shelf 😍 I just finished collecting the Witchlands series so this was very exciting!!

Q. What's your favourite childhood read? I mentioned in a recent post that I didn't read as a child - but I got my hands on a box set of Enid Blyton's Famous Five and I'm ready to catch up on what I missed out on 🤩😍
